The Cost of Success - 50 Cent's CRAZY STORY

Slika
50 Cent's rise to the top was due to his 2003 album "Get Rich or Die Tryin'". Before that, his life was filled with illegal activities and bad influence. When he was only 8, his mother, who was also a drug dealer, was killed in a drug war. At the age of 12, 50 started dealing crack. Yes, 12... Imagine what you were doing when you were 12... But, those illegal activities were also paying off. Well, financially at least. 50 was making around 150 000$ at the age of 19 PER WEEK. Yeah, seems alright, but it is never smart to do something against the law because it won't last forever and eventually, someone is going to do something about it. This is where this crazy story begins. Long story short, he was shot 9 TIMES. 9 bullets entered his body, including one in his face. "In May of 2000, 50 Cent's street life caught up with him. While sitting in a friend's car in front of his grandmother's house, another car pulled up, and the driver fired ro

An IDEAL WAY to make money... (Link Shortening)

Slika
The good thing about having your ads displayed on a blog is that you get paid by showing someone else's offers on YOUR blog, but the problem is that you actually have to own the blog you are displaying the ads on to even make any money. Link shortening is often used as just a more convenient way to publish a link which can sometimes be sooo long that you wouldn't want to post that somewhere, especially on Twitter... But, it can also be profitable, and it is really an ideal way to make money because to make the best out of it - you just need a lot of visitors and link clicks. You don't even have to be creative, you only need link clicks. There are a couple of websites you can do this service on. The most famous and probably the best one is Adf.ly . It pays on time, it is virus-free and the most convenient one as you only need a Facebook account to get started. The list of other websites for link shortening is HERE . The only thing you need to do now is sign in to A

You can make money with anything... (Affiliate Marketing)

Luckily, we've come to a time where there is no specific niche that is more profitable than the other ones. You can simply write blogs or make videos about anything you'd like. If you like Asus smartphones, chances are, there are a couple of hundred thousands people that also love that - and you can easily make money with your biggest pasion, while also helping businesses, companies or other people like yourself. Well, not really "easily", but hey, it takes a lot of time and work, just like everything... AFFILIATE MARKETING is a very convenient way of making money and pretty much everyone with an internet connection and an idea can do it. You get paid for showing ads of other products/businesses on your blog/website, and in most cases, you don't have any investments, which means, the only thing you can lose is your time and energy. So, what does it take to be a successful marketer, making an extra income off of your blog? First of all, you need to have a l

Is it really easier to succeed today than it was before?

Lately, I've been really stunned how far the internet and content sharing has come. Literally every new day you can see a handful of new videos become viral, then all the famous Facebook pages share it and it becomes a meme and everyone knows about it. However, I've also noticed how fast that fame vanishes and how trivial that "fame" really is. Is it really easier to be a musician now with platforms like Soundcloud, YouTube and Spotifiy, where you can upload your work completely for free and have all the people in the world see your work? Was it really a lot harder bach then, when Led Zeppelin and The Doors were trying to make it happen? Not really. And here is why. That "freedom" in this open wold of social media is exactly why it is becoming harder and harder to succeed. It tricks you into thinking that your goal is right aroun the corner, but it is really not. The main point is, on social media, your competition is ENDLESS. Everyone uploads their

The perfect environment for success

THE ENVIRONMENT THAT YOU ARE IN HAS A BIG IMPACT ON YOU. IF YOU DON´T FEEL LIKE EVERYTHING IS GOING SO NATURALLY LIKE IN MY CASE, CREATE YOU PERFECT ENVIRONMENT! Let´s turn it this way:  Let´s say you are in 2 bands.  In the first band, you are an intermediate guitar player and your band members are starting out just now. They´ve started playing their instruments a few months ago. You are by far the best member of that band. In the beginning, it´s all a lot of fun, no ego, no strings attached. BUT, in a few months, you are starting to be cocky. You are starting to be aware that you are a god in that band and your ego starts growing. You are slowly beginning making fun of them, throwing smal jokes at them occasionally. That is the beginning of your end. Although your ego can be a plus in some cases, like in the case of Steve Jobs, something that makes your attitude a lot more serious, it usually keeps you on the same spot for a long time, slows down your progress and developm

Could success make you TRULY happy?

Lamborghini photos are probably more effective in motivating a person, but quotes and advices from mentors and life coaches is what really adds depth to that motivation. Materialistic things aren't the only thing you get with success. They are only the visible part. But, you also get more mentally developed and gain a lot of experience, ups and downs in life - which definitely make you a stronger person and teach you how to deal with certain things or people. When you become more developed as a person, you also become a lot happier, which is the most important thing. All the luxury houses and private jets don't mean a thing if you're not happy inside. On that path to success, you realize that, well, you only have  ONE LIFE .   Not being happy all the time is just wasting your life. Because why wouldn't you just be happy? That only depends on how you look at the world. Don't get tricked... Success can make you a very happy person, but happiness depends on y

Start changing your life

Already too many people live boring, bland lives, dreaming about a better life from time to time, not doing anything to make it happen. Of course, people that surround you have the biggest impact on your thinking and it's really hard to escape from your natural way of thinking that your parents instilled in you, but hey,  it's 2017 . In 2017, living your dream life is easier to achieve than ever. How? Well, with the power of internet, of course! If you are reading this, you already know how that works, right? Reaching a lot of people through social media and exposing yourself to the world is something you could have just dreamt of 20 years ago. At the time, you could only sell physically, face to face. If you wanted to expand your business, opening more stores in different cities was the only way to go. Look how much has changed...  With a little bit of help of social media and a small dose of marketing skills, everyone can launch his/her own product to the market. And
